    I'm in I have a crazy schedule. I'm a mom of 2 a wife and I'm currently in nursing school. I would like to join in on this challenge. I just started the jillian michaels 30 day shred yesterday and joined mfp. I'm ready to change this lifestyle of mine. Any motivation will help.

    Keep it up!!!!
    I'm a mom of 6, self employed so if I don't work no money comes in. I'm in the gym 5 days a week. I call it my sanity break, if you don't care for yourself you can't care for others.

    Good Luck!!

    Married with 4 kids who works full time.

    Monday - 13,011 steps
    Yesterday - 10,516 steps.

    The best way I found to get my steps in is to walk at break and I play Just Dance with my daughers (she's 12). Plus it's so much fun!

    I love the challenges on fitbit. Would do one every day but not everyone is like me.

    My user is www.fitbit.com/user/24XG5B for anyone who wants to add.

    Thanks.

    Hey everyone, this is exactly the group I need as I get back into tracking my steps! I'm a mom to an almost 2 year old and a 3.5 year old, work part-time and starting an art business so I'm very busy and need this motivation big time!

    Received my Fitbit Charge from Fitbit yesterday and logged a total of 10,145 steps in the first 5 hours of wearing it. Will try and top that number today since I'll be wearing the Charge all day.

    Starting today! Very excited. Will use the pacer and Breeze apps to track steps. Anyone with experience?

    Me too! My calories haven't been too bad but it's mostly junk.

    I use breeze and I love it!
    I have played around with it to see how sensitive it is and it is pretty bang on for counting steps and not other movements like shaking your phone.
    It is also great for sending little motivational updates that help keep me on track :)

    Hi - I'm Julie
    I'm in. I'm 48, work full-time and have 3 children plus a newborn grandson at home. I feel so exhausted at the end of the day, I can't find the motivation to exercise. Hopefully, this will be the kick-start I need!

    My steps were rubbish yesterday but I forgive myself because I swam loads so it all adds up!! This afternoon we are off for a long walk, providing it doesn't pour down with rain!! So my total steps today should be much brighter!!
